Mandarin Duck Cave,藏軍洞 Introduction

"Mandarin Duck Playing in Water - Mandarin Duck Cave" is located in the northeastern part of Wang-an Island. It is a natural valley terrain, and according to legend, it got its name because of the many water caves where mandarin ducks used to play and inhabit. Off the coast, there is Saddle Island, which resembles a saddle and serves as a barrier. During the Japanese occupation, it was developed by the Japanese military as an important naval base. The "Cangjun Cave" is a remaining historical site from this area. In 1944, the Japanese military enslaved the residents of Wang-an and Jiangjun Islands to excavate it as a torpedo boat base and dormitory for special forces. Just as the project was nearing completion, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, resulting in the abandonment of the base. Many of the caves have already collapsed, but some remnants can still be faintly seen.
